comedy romance

You know… I don’t have much experience in the “rom-com” genre, as I tend to gravitate towards emotional devastation when it comes to my reads (<— Yep. I’m a sucker for punishment). But it seems every time I read a funny one, I end up loving it! I always thought that there was nothing better than a book that causes you to ugly-cry or one that gives you the urge to throw your book across the room ’cause you’re so mad at book-him!

But I realize, there’s also nothing better than a non-stop giggle-fest while reading, too. A relieving lighthearted “funny” between the angsty tearjerkers and the thrilling dark reads. And I noticed, even the funny ones induce butterflies in my stomach and can (and often are) just as steamy as the rest of ’em. 😉read more

<— ARRANGED MARRIAGE ALERT!!! She’s sick of the games, and just wants a husband, so she signs up!! AND!! The duet conclusion JUST WENT LIVE!!

Michele G: …the main character decides to take part in an arranged marriage through an online site where they match you up and you meet them at the wedding. Mix this with a few other twists and you have the recipe for a yummy fun book!

ROCK STAR ALERT!! OMG this series sounds like SO. MUCH. FUN!!! And… book #2 just went LIVE!

About book #1:

Jesse Lee is the worst!

He’s a multi-millionaire, triple-platinum-selling, Grammy-Award-winning man-slut—a worldly, self-indulgent heathen. I wouldn’t sleep with him if he were our last chance to ensure survival of the human race. The only reason I put up with him is because he’s my boss’s brother.

Whatsherface is one of those holier-than-thou types.

She’s bossy, has a horrific singing voice, and she’s so ordinary, she practically blends in with the eggshell-colored walls—the complete opposite of anyone I’d bang. The only reason I put up with her is because my career is on the line.read more

Oooooh this “genre/trope” list is after my own nerd-loving heart. Yes, I’m more known for my love of a “bad boy, bad-ass tattooed character”, but I recently read one that had me crushing (and I’m STILL crushing) hard… and he was super-smart and nerdy. *swooooooooooon* I’m in! Let’s DO THIS!!!

Paige & Janie kicked this off, when they asked for a very specific recommendation:

Paige: Please Maryse, could you possibly make a list if your (and your followers) favorite nerd hero/nerd heroine…read more
